Seeing the clerk's reaction, Tang Zhen knew he was in the right place.
At the moment, we can only confirm that the other party knows about the books, but how much they know specifically and whether the books are in the store cannot be determined for the time being.
Although it is possible to search the memory directly, it is easy to scare the enemy. If the other party sees that the situation is not good and rushes to destroy the books, Tang Zhen's work will be in vain.
In fact, although Tang Zhen acted quickly, he still wasted some time, enough for a thoughtful person to react.
If the other party's vigilance is high enough, it can be inferred from the encounter between the library and graduate student Wolf that someone has been eyeing those books.
The fact that the other party took so much effort to transfer several books shows that they have different meanings and must also attach great importance to them.
So Tang Zhen simply revealed his identity and let the other party know his purpose of coming, intending to lure the snake out of its hole.
As long as the other party responds, you can follow the clues and find clues that are useful to you.
Sure enough, as Tang Zhen expected, when the clerk heard the name of the book Tang Zhen mentioned, his expression became unnatural, and he even secretly winked at his companion.
This shows that the relationship between the store clerks is not simple. They have been working with each other for a long time and have already established a tacit understanding.
The clerks on the opposite side also responded. When the dagger shattered just now, they had already focused all their attention on Tang Zhen, their expressions gloomy and uncertain.
On the surface, Tang Zhen seemed unaware, but in fact he had been watching all directions, paying attention to every move of the shop assistants.
Soon he noticed that a clerk turned around secretly in the corner, seemingly using some kind of object to send a message.
The mental power spread and locked on the clerk, and the information exchanged by the other party also came into his eyes.
"Someone comes looking for those books and makes trouble in the store. What should I do?"
"Steady the other party, I will figure out his origins, and then make plans."
"Should we control this guy first? If he continues to cause trouble, our reputation will be ruined?"
"You act according to the situation and don't make too much noise, so as not to affect our plan."
"Understood, we have a sense of proportion."
After the exchange between the two parties ended, the clerk turned around and glanced at Tang Zhen, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
It seems that he has made up his mind and is ready to give Tang Zhen some color to see.
The Trobo people are not monolithic within themselves, and there are also factional disputes. It's just that most of these facts are hidden underwater and few people know about them.
At this time, those customers are still waiting for a reply, wondering whether this is an accident or whether the store just sells defective products.
This incident did not cause any loss to them, and the purpose of staying at this time was just to watch the excitement.
The clerk who was responsible for explaining looked at his companion, and saw the other party secretly making a gesture, and he immediately understood his companion's plan.
Holding out his hand to signal the customer not to get excited, the clerk turned to look at Tang Zhen and said in a disdainful tone: "Everyone, listen to me, it has just been found out that this gentleman was sent by our competitor.
The purpose of this person is to cause trouble and destroy the reputation of our store. Please do not let him take advantage of you, otherwise you will be really fooled.
As for the antiques in question, they must have been tampered with, so he concluded that there was something wrong with the dagger.
Otherwise, how could he know that there was a problem if he had never been exposed to antiques before? Everyone will understand it just by thinking about it."
When the customers next to him heard this, they all had expressions of surprise on their faces, and seemed to think that what the clerk said made sense.
After all, what just happened was indeed a bit unreasonable. If Tang Zhen deliberately caused trouble, then it would make sense.
So they all looked at Tang Zhen, with doubts and reproaches in their eyes, and some even asked him to prove his innocence.
It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, it's just people like them.
Tang Zhen was too lazy to pay attention to these Trobo people at first, but thinking about the plan to lure the snake out of its hole, he decided to play with them for a while longer.
"Since you are so sure that the items here have been tampered with by me, and you presumably have enough evidence, let me ask you, are there any things that have been tampered with?
It's okay to tamper with one or two items, but it's impossible for all items to be tampered with, and that kind of thing will never happen.
So as long as you produce an authentic product to prove your innocence, it will count as you have not deceived customers.
I have given you the opportunity to prove your innocence, what do you think of this?"
After hearing Tang Zhen's words, those customers thought it made sense and turned to look at the clerk, wanting to see how he would respond.
The clerk was a little confused. What happened just now made him worried. What if he picked out an item and it suddenly broke into pieces? What should he do?
Seeing the embarrassment on his companion's face, another clerk stood up and said loudly to the customers: "Everyone, be quiet. I have just notified the ground security forces. They will arrive at the scene soon to figure out the cause and effect of the matter.
When it comes to honor and integrity, we must not take it lightly.
Therefore, our store is temporarily closed for business, please leave temporarily to avoid any misunderstanding."
When they heard that the store had called the police, the customers stopped talking nonsense and turned around and left.
As for whether the store actually called the police and what would happen next, those customers would not care at all, lest they cause trouble for themselves.
The only regret is that I couldn't see the results immediately and couldn't satisfy my curiosity.
After all the customers left and only Tang Zhen and the clerks were left in the store, the scene began to become quiet.
Tang Zhen just stood there quietly, smiling and looking at the clerk standing in front of him, wanting to see their next move.
"It's time to tell you where you are from, right?"
The clerk said with a non-smiling smile. Compared with before, his smile had a hint of contempt and a smile of sure victory.
When Tang Zhen heard this, he shook his head slightly.
"I can't say that you are not qualified enough."
Hearing Tang Zhen's words, the coldness on the clerk's face became even stronger. He suddenly took out a pistol and pointed it at Tang Zhen in front of him.
As he took out his pistol, several other clerks also took out weapons from under their robes, surrounding Tang Zhen.
The atmosphere in the store became tense, but Tang Zhen, who was in the center, remained calm. His eyes swept over the other person's proud face, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.
"You idiots like you are worthy of threatening me with a gun?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the clerks felt their hands become hot, as if they had a red-hot soldering iron in their hands, and they were so frightened that they quickly dropped their weapons on the ground.
But even so, their palms were still severely burned, and the weapons that fell on the ground seemed to be melting and had been completely deformed.
Seeing this abnormal and strange scene, the expressions of the clerks changed drastically, and they looked at Tang Zhen as if they were seeing a ghost, with uncontrollable fear in their eyes.
This method is really too terrible. It can destroy the enemy's weapons silently. In this way, what else can be used to deal with him?
At this time, the clerk felt that Tang Zhen's danger level had increased rapidly, and if he could be killed, he would never hold back.
Reaching for their waists again, this time they actually pulled out high-frequency oscillating daggers, armor-piercing thorns with terrifying speed, and swung straight at Tang Zhen.
Using the shop as a cover and carrying a variety of sharp weapons, these guys are not good people at first glance.
